    With the modification of the Regulations of the Hydraulic Public Domain of Spain in 2008, approximately 70.000 owners of off-stream reservoirs are obligated to present a classification assessment on the potential risk due ...
  • Modeling pressurized flow through hydraulic structures and bridges using a 2D-SWE-based model 

    Sanz Ramos, Marcos; López Núñez, Alejandro; Cea, Luis; Bladé i Castellet, Ernest (International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), 2022)
    Conference report

    Bladé i Castellet, Ernest (2021)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    En este apartado se presenta el módulo de transporte de fondo para material no uniforme, es decir, cuando el sedimento transportado por un río no puede caracterizarse por un único diámetro. Es un hecho que un río que es ...
  • Iber V3. Módulo de drenaje urbano 

    Bladé i Castellet, Ernest (2021)
    Conference report

    Sanz Ramos, Marcos; Bladé i Castellet, Ernest; Dolz Ripollès, Josep (CRC Press, 2020)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The Aznalcóllar mine-pond break is the most catastrophic mining accident regis-tered in the Iberian Peninsula (April 1998), and caused a tailings spill that affected around 45 km of the Agrio and Guadiamar Rivers. The flood ...
  • STOP-IT: strategic, tactical, operational protection of water infrastructure against cyberphysical threats 

    Ugarelli, Rita; Koti, Juliane; Bonet Gil, Enrique (EasyChair Publications, 2018)
    Conference report
